Werder Bremen will operate Weserstadion at reduced capacity for their first two home games of the 2026-27 Bundesliga season. A partial collapse of a section in the upper tier in early July led to the decision, rendering approximately 500 seats unusable for matches against RB Leipzig and FC Augsburg. Managing director Hans-Jörg Otto indicated that the club does not anticipate a complete reopening until the third home game. Season ticket holders from Block 53 will be relocated to alternative seating.
